Pacquiao 'pities Mayweather',
vows to play pro basketball

Philippine boxing hero Manny Pacquiao yesterday brushed off Floyd Mayweather's latest taunts, saying he pitied his American rival and  urged him to read the Bible.

Pacquiao also assured fans that he would play a few minutes of professional basketball when the new season opens next month even while he trains for a match in Macau in November against unbeaten American Chris Algieri.

Despite calls by boxing fans for the two biggest names in the sport finally to meet, Mayweather has refused to commit to a match but has not refrained from baiting Pacquiao.
